C-Change is an Urbact transfer network of 6 European cities committed to working together to develop arts and culture sector collaboration on climate action and engagement. It is led by Manchester (UK) with Wroclaw (Poland), Sibenik (Croatia), Agueda (Portugal), Mantova (Italy) and Gelsenkirchen (Germany) with a combined population of over 1.6 million people.

C-Change&#039;s main objective is to transfer the learnings and best practise of Manchester Arts Sustainability Team (MAST) to support the network cities to mobilise their arts and culture sectors into climate change action.
